Eclipse Exhibit at Clough

Preview the solar sensation of 2017

Aug 1, 2017 | Atlanta, GA

A mini-exhibit to celebrate the Aug. 21, 2017, solar eclipse is up for viewing at Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons from today until Aug. 31, 2017.

Meant to whet the Georgia Tech community’s curiosity about the rare solar spectacle on the first day of the 2017 Fall semester, the exhibit looks at past eclipses from science and pop culture perspectives. It displays the path of totality of the Aug. 21, 2017, solar sensation, which will be visible across the U.S. from coast to coast.

The mini-exhibit was designed and installed by Kirk Henderson, exhibits program manager at the Georgia Tech Library. Along with Henderson, James Sowell, director of the Georgia Tech Observatory, and Renay San Miguel and A. Maureen Rouhi, of the College of Sciences Communications Office, contributed content.

The Georgia Tech campus and the rest of Atlanta will experience 97% totality. The moon will begin to cover the sun at 1:06 PM local time. Maximum overlap will occur at 2:37 PM. The sun will reappear completely at 4:02 PM.

The College of Sciences and the Office of Undergraduate Education acknowledge the assistance and participation of the following in organizing eclipse-related activities at Georgia Tech: Georgia Tech Observatory, Georgia Tech Library, School of Physics, School of Aerospace Engineering, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, School of Interactive Computing, School of Psychology, School of Music, Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology, Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, and Institute Communications.
